just read the article you posted BH! - thought I would put in a quote as that "liquidity pyramid" seems to me fundamental to the inflation/deflation game and where we are going with gold and the USD
"one need only look at the total CDS notional in circulation which has collapsed from over $60 trillion at the end of 2007 to less than $30 trillion currently (according to DTCC). In short, 2008 was characterized by a massive destruction of money, and this process will likely continue well into 2009 and 2010".
